Ziklag, a town on the southernmost boundary of Judea, is first mentioned in the Bible as part of the inheritance of the tribe of Judah (Joshua 15:31). Ziklag was assigned to the tribe of Simeon within Judah (Joshua 19:5) but appears not to have been conquered by the Israelites before the time of David. Ziklag was still under Philistine control when Saul reigned as king.
For many years King Saul sought to harm David. After the death of Samuel, David fled for his life with six hundred men and their households to Philistine territory. While there, Achish, the Philistine king of Gath, gave Ziklag to David at his request: “‘Then David said to Achish, ‘If I have found favor in your eyes, let a place be assigned to me in one of the country towns, that I may live there. Why should your servant live in the royal city with you?’ So on that day Achish gave him Ziklag, and it has belonged to the kings of Judah ever since” (1 Samuel 27:5–6). Achish awarded Ziklag to David most likely to ensure David’s continued neutrality.
David ruled over Ziklag for 16 months, during which he made the town his base of operations for military exploits against the Amalekites. Many of Israel’s disillusioned warriors flocked to join forces with David’s private army there (1 Chronicles 12:1–22).
1. **1 Samuel 30:1 (NIV)**:*Verse*: "David and his men reached Ziklag on the third day. Now the Amalekites had raided the Negev and Ziklag. They had attacked Ziklag and burned it."
*Explanation*: This verse sets the stage for the story, indicating that David and his men had just returned to their home in Ziklag, only to discover it had been raided and burned by the Amalekites.
For many years King Saul sought to harm David. After the death of Samuel, David fled for his life with six hundred men and their households to Philistine territory. While there, Achish, the Philistine king of Gath, gave Ziklag to David at his request: “‘Then David said to Achish, ‘If I have found favor in your eyes, let a place be assigned to me in one of the country towns, that I may live there. Why should your servant live in the royal city with you?’ So on that day Achish gave him Ziklag, and it has belonged to the kings of Judah ever since” (1 Samuel 27:5–6). Achish awarded Ziklag to David most likely to ensure David’s continued neutrality.
David ruled over Ziklag for 16 months, during which he made the town his base of operations for military exploits against the Amalekites. Many of Israel’s disillusioned warriors flocked to join forces with David’s private army there (1 Chronicles 12:1–22).
2. **1 Samuel 30:3-4 (NIV)**:*Verse*: "When David and his men reached Ziklag, they found it destroyed by fire and their wives and sons and daughters taken captive. So, David and his men wept aloud until they had no strength left to weep."
*Explanation*: This passage highlights the devastating discovery of their destroyed homes and the emotional anguish experienced by David and his men upon realizing that their families had been taken captive.
While David and his men were away attempting to join the Philistine army to fight against Saul, Amalekite raiders attacked Ziklag. When the Philistines refused to let David and his men fight with them, David returned to Ziklag and found his city had been burned down and all its inhabitants taken hostage: “David and his men reached Ziklag on the third day. Now the Amalekites had raided the Negev and Ziklag. They had attacked Ziklag and burned it, and had taken captive the women and everyone else in it, both young and old. They killed none of them, but carried them off as they went on their way. When David and his men reached Ziklag, they found it destroyed by fire and their wives and sons and daughters taken captive” (1 Samuel 30:1–3).
3. **1 Samuel 30:6 (NIV)**:*Verse*: "David was greatly distressed because the men were talking of stoning him; each one was bitter in spirit because of his sons and daughters. But David found strength in the Lord his God."
*Explanation*: This verse portrays David's personal distress and the blame he faced from his own men. It underscores David's pivotal decision to find his strength in the Lord, a critical turning point in the story.
4. **1 Samuel 30:8 (NIV)**:*Verse*: "and David inquired of the Lord, 'Shall I pursue this raiding party? Will I overtake them?' 'Pursue them,' he answered. 'You will certainly overtake them and succeed in the rescue.'"
*Explanation*: Here, we see David's immediate response of seeking guidance from the Lord through prayer. God's response is a promise of success, reinforcing the importance of trusting in God's guidance.
5. **1 Samuel 30:18-19 (NIV)**:*Verse*: "David recovered everything the Amalekites had taken, including his two wives. Nothing was missing: young or old, boy or girl, plunder or anything else they had taken. David brought everything back."
In a daring rescue, David and his men pursued and defeated the raiders, recovering all that had been taken, including David’s two wives, Ahinoam and Abigail (verses 16–31).
*Explanation*: These verses narrate the successful recovery mission led by David, where he not only rescued his family but also reclaimed all that was taken from them, highlighting God's faithfulness in fulfilling His promise.
6. **1 Samuel 30:21-22 (NIV)**:*Verse*: "Then David came to the two hundred men who had been too exhausted to follow him and who were left behind at the Besor Valley. They came out to meet David and the men with him. As David and his men approached, he asked them how they were."
*Explanation*: This passage demonstrates David's compassion and concern for those who had been too weary to pursue the enemy. It showcases his leadership qualities and care for his men.
7. **1 Samuel 30:23-24 (NIV)**:*Verse*: "But David said, 'No, my brothers, you must not do that with what the Lord has given us. He has protected us and delivered into our hands the raiding party that came against us.'"
*Explanation*: David acknowledges that their victory and the recovery of their possessions are blessings from the Lord, reinforcing the importance of recognizing God's providence.
8. **1 Samuel 30:26 (NIV)**:*Verse*: "When David reached Ziklag, he sent some of the plunder to the elders of Judah, who were his friends, saying, 'Here is a gift for you from the plunder of the Lord’s enemies.'"
*Explanation*: David's act of sharing the spoils with the elders of Judah exemplifies his gratitude to God and generosity towards others, reinforcing the theme of recognizing God's blessings.
9. **1 Samuel 30:31 (NIV)**:*Verse*: "and from Hebron, from all the places David and his men had roamed."
*Explanation*: This verse summarizes the wide-reaching impact of David's generosity and his growing influence as a leader in the region.
10. **1 Samuel 30:31 (NIV)**:*Verse*: "David made a name for himself when he returned from striking down eighteen thousand Edomites in the Valley of Salt."
*Explanation*: This concluding verse highlights David's reputation as a mighty warrior, reflecting how his trust in God and God's guidance led to remarkable victories.
These scriptures and explanations provide a comprehensive overview of the story of King David and Ziklag, emphasizing the themes of trust in God, seeking His guidance, and recognizing His blessings in times of adversity.
David was living in Ziklag when he received the news of Saul’s death (2 Samuel 4:10). After that, David moved to Hebron to become the king of Judah.
The exact location of Ziklag is debated. Some scholars associate it with Tell esh-Sharia, about 15 miles southeast of Gaza. Others pinpoint it at Tell el-Khuweilfeh, about 10 miles northeast of Beersheba.
Ziklag remained in Israelite possession until the end of the monarchy and is last mentioned in the Bible as one of the cities inhabited by Jews after returning from exile in Babylon (Nehemiah 11:28).
In the face of tragedy and loss, David's initial response was not to despair or blame others, but to "find strength in the Lord his God" (1 Samuel 30:6). This crucial decision reflects David's unwavering faith in God, despite the dire circumstances. It serves as a reminder that in our own lives, when we encounter unexpected crises or overwhelming challenges, our first response should be to turn to God in prayer, seeking His guidance and strength.
God's response to David's inquiry was a promise of success and victory. This illustrates that when we trust God and follow His lead, even in the most daunting situations, He remains faithful to His promises. God assured David that he would "certainly overtake them and succeed in the rescue" (1 Samuel 30:8). This reaffirms the timeless truth that God is a reliable source of guidance and support in our times of need.
David's subsequent actions in pursuing the enemy and recovering everything that was lost highlight the principle that faith requires action. While trusting in God's faithfulness is crucial, it often involves taking steps of obedience and courage. David's resolute pursuit of the Amalekites not only led to the rescue of their families but also the restoration of all their possessions (1 Samuel 30:18-19). It demonstrates that God's faithfulness is manifested through our trust and obedience.

The answer to why it was important to rebuild Jerusalem’s walls is found in Nehemiah 1:3.Some Jews who visited Jerusalem returned to Persia and reported to Nehemiah, the king’s cupbearer. The men said, “Those who survived the exile and are back in the province are in great trouble and disgrace. The wall of Jerusalem is broken down, and its gates have been burned with fire.”After the Babylonian Captivity, a remnant of the Jewish people had returned to Jerusalem under the leadership of Zerubbabel and Ezra. These returned exiles had rebuilt the temple, but they were now in need of protection. The lack of fortified walls around the city left the people defenseless against enemies. Weather, wild animals, opposing people, and other opponents could easily enter and cause “great trouble” to the people.
According to the report Nehemiah received, the remnant in Jerusalem was shamed. A city with broken walls revealed a defeated people. The Jews who had returned to their homeland were both in unsafe conditions and humiliated at living in a destroyed city. In Nehemiah 2:17, Nehemiah told the Jewish leaders, “You see the trouble we are in: Jerusalem lies in ruins, and its gates have been burned with fire. Come, let us rebuild the wall of Jerusalem, and we will no longer be in disgrace.”Also, the rebuilding of Jerusalem’s walls would show God’s blessing upon His people again. Nehemiah quoted God’s words to Moses in his prayer, saying, “If you return to me and obey my commands, then even if your exiled people are at the farthest horizon, I will gather them from there and bring them to the place I have chosen as a dwelling for my Name” (Nehemiah 1:9).
Rebuilding the walls of Jerusalem was an important sign to the enemies of Israel. Nehemiah told their enemies, “The God of heaven will give us success. We his servants will start rebuilding, but as for you, you have no share in Jerusalem or any claim or historic right to it” (Nehemiah 2:20).And rebuilding the walls showed that God was with His people. Upon the completion of the walls, Nehemiah wrote, “When all our enemies heard about this, all the surrounding nations were afraid and lost their self-confidence, because they realized that this work had been done with the help of our God” (Nehemiah 6:16).The destruction of Jerusalem’s walls left its people exposed to great trouble and shame. Rebuilding the walls of Jerusalem was important because it revealed God’s blessing, served as a sign to Israel’s enemies, and showed God was with His people.
let's go through each chapter of the Book of Nehemiah in greater detail:
**Chapter 1: Nehemiah's Prayer**- In this chapter, Nehemiah, a cupbearer to the Persian king Artaxerxes, hears about the distressing condition of Jerusalem and its broken walls.- Nehemiah's immediate response is one of deep concern and grief. He weeps, mourns, fasts, and prays to God for forgiveness for his people's sins and for guidance on how to address the situation.- This chapter serves as an introduction to Nehemiah's character, his strong connection to his homeland, and his reliance on prayer as he seeks God's direction.
**Chapter 2: Nehemiah's Commission**- Nehemiah, still in the king's service, looks visibly sad. When the king inquires about the reason, Nehemiah explains his concern for Jerusalem.- Remarkably, King Artaxerxes grants Nehemiah permission to return to Jerusalem and rebuild the city's walls. The king even provides him with letters for safe passage and resources.- Nehemiah's commission serves as a powerful reminder of God's sovereignty, as He uses even pagan kings to accomplish His purposes.
**Chapter 3: The Wall's Construction**- This chapter provides a detailed account of the people and groups who participated in rebuilding different sections of Jerusalem's wall.- The lists of builders and their contributions underscore the unity and cooperation among the Israelites. Families, priests, and even rulers are involved in the construction.- It emphasizes that rebuilding the wall was a collective effort, reflecting the importance of unity and teamwork among God's people.
**Chapter 4: Opposition and Perseverance**- As the wall construction progresses, Sanballat, Tobiah, and other enemies of the Jews become increasingly hostile. They mock and ridicule the builders, seeking to discourage them.- Nehemiah responds with prayer and encourages the people to stay vigilant and continue their work. He sets up a system of defense and assigns armed guards.- This chapter illustrates the reality of opposition and adversity in pursuing God's work but also highlights the importance of perseverance, prayer, and trusting in God's protection.
**Chapter 5: Nehemiah Addresses Social Injustice**- In this chapter, Nehemiah addresses internal issues of social injustice among the Jewish community. Some were exploiting their fellow Jews through loans and exorbitant interest rates, leading to financial hardships.- Nehemiah rebukes the oppressors, urging them to return what they had taken and charging them to live in a way that pleases God.- This chapter demonstrates Nehemiah's commitment to justice and fairness, emphasizing the need for God's people to care for the marginalized and vulnerable.
**Chapter 6: Completing the Wall**- Nehemiah faces further opposition in the form of deceitful schemes, designed to lure him away from Jerusalem or discredit him.- Despite these attempts, Nehemiah remains resolute in his mission. He discerns the deceit and continues to lead the people in completing the wall.- The wall is eventually finished in an astonishing 52 days, a testament to the determination and trust in God's providence.
Each chapter of Nehemiah offers valuable lessons, including the importance of prayer, God's providence, unity, perseverance, justice, and leadership. In a sermon, you can emphasize these themes and how they apply to the lives of your congregation today, encouraging them to seek God's guidance, work together, face opposition with faith, and pursue justice in their communities. Nehemiah's story serves as an inspiring example of faith in action and the transformative power of God's work through dedicated individuals.
The walls provided protection and dignity to a people who had suffered the judgment of God but had later been restored and returned to the Promised Land.

The Narrow Gate | The Todd Coconato Show

The narrow gate, also called the narrow door, is referred to by the Lord Jesus in Matthew 7:13-14 and Luke 13:23-24. Jesus compares the narrow gate to the “broad road” which leads to destruction (hell) and says that “many” will be on that road. By contrast, Jesus says that “small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it.” What exactly is meant by this? Just how many are the “many” and how few are the “few”?
First, we need to understand that Jesus is the Door through which all must enter eternal life. There is no other way because He alone is “the way, the truth and the life” (John 14:6). The way to eternal life is restricted to just one avenue—Christ. In this sense, the way is narrow because it is the only way, and relatively few people will go through the narrow gate. Many more will attempt to find an alternative route to God. They will try to get there through manmade rules and regulations, through false religion, or through self-effort. These who are “many” will follow the broad road that leads to eternal destruction, while the sheep hear the voice of the Good Shepherd and follow Him along the narrow way to eternal life (John 10:7-11).
While there will be relatively few who go through the narrow gate compared to the many on the broad road, there will still be multitudes who will follow the Good Shepherd. The apostle John saw this multitude in his vision in the book of Revelation: “After this I looked, and behold, a great multitude that no one could number, from every nation, from all tribes and peoples and languages, standing before the throne and before the Lamb, clothed in white robes, with palm branches in their hands, and crying out with a loud voice, ‘Salvation belongs to our God who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb!’” (Revelation 7:9-10).
Entering the narrow gate is not easy. Jesus made this clear when He instructed His followers to “strive” to do so. The Greek word translated “strive” is agonizomai, from which we get the English word agonize. The implication here is that those who seek to enter the narrow gate must do so by struggle and strain, like a running athlete straining toward the finish line, all muscles taut and giving his all in the effort. But we must be clear here. No amount of effort saves us; salvation is by the grace of God through the gift of faith (Ephesians 2:8-9). No one will ever earn heaven by striving for it. But entering the narrow gate is still difficult because of the opposition of human pride, our natural love of sin, and the opposition of Satan and the world in his control, all of which battle against us in the pursuit of eternity.
The exhortation to strive to enter is a command to repent and enter the gate and not to just stand and look at it, think about it, complain that it’s too small or too difficult or unjustly narrow. We are not to ask why others are not entering; we are not to make excuses or delay. We are not to be concerned with the number who will or will not enter. We are to strive forward and enter! Then we are to exhort others to strive to enter before it’s too late.
